The minor league t-shirt and jersey/mascot game remains strong. While it was a 1970s-80s era soccer team that gave us our Surf moniker and jersey (which Corrie said was very easy to pick out of the parade during our Dodger Stadium walk), the minor leagues of baseball are still a hotbed of weirdo stuff.
I joined the fray by buying one of the Salish-language Spokane Indians t-shirts:
I got a gift from my mother that lead me to basically having a collection of minor league t-shirts. She sent a funny alternate for her local Wichita Wind Surge team, the Wichita Tumbavacas (which I can only assume they're using in a "cow tippers" kind of way, as it literally translates to "cow tombs"):
Then I saw a saucy alternate for the Moorehead Marlins, a coastal Carolina team that decided to lean in to the Blackbeard history and (alternately) name themselves the Crystal Coast Booty Divers. The pirate diver is part of their alternate logo, and he appears on the saucy edition I bought:
